How it’s made
Developed over two years, this limited-edition yarn is spun just minutes from our Coleraine studio at a small family-run mill. Handmade using alpaca from Wicklow and designed by Hope in our signature chunky style, each piece is hand-knitted by our team across Northern Ireland, making every garment a unique piece of Irish wearable art.
What it’s made from
30% Irish Superfine Alpaca, 70% Corriedale wool. Natural, renewable and biodegradable. The Corriedale wool is RWS-certified, from non-mulesed flocks, and dyed with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified dyes. The alpaca is ethically sourced from a family-run farm in Wicklow, ensuring full traceability.
How it feels
Chunky, exceptionally soft and luxuriously cosy.
Care
Naturally odour resistant, wool rarely needs washing. Spot clean or gently hand wash in cold water, then lay flat to dry. Store folded and refresh with a knitwear comb as needed.
